Proceedings: GUILTY PLEA HEARING Case called. Counsels make their appearances. Defendant is present and sworn. The Court questions the Defendant and Defense counsel regarding the knowing and voluntary nature of the proposed plea and the terms of the plea agreement. The Court reads the charge and advises the Defendant of the elements of the offense. Defendant was advised of his limited right to appeal the sentence. Defendant pleads guilty to one-count Information [Class A Misdemeanor] charging him with 21 U.S.C. § § 331 (a) , 333 (a) (1), Introduction of misbranded drug into interstate commerce. The Court finds that the plea of guilty has been freely, knowingly and voluntarily made; that the Defendant understands the nature of the charge and the consequences of the plea; and that there is factual basis for the plea. After further questioning of the Defendant, the Court orders the plea of guilty accepted and entered. The Parties are informed the sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday, July 20, 2016 at 10:00a.m., Courtroom F, 9th Floor, Spring Street Federal Building, 312 N.
